From the middle of the board on your knees facing across the board, reach to the MirageDrive well and move your knees to the edge. Pull on the well while kneeling on the edge to roll the board up and over.

A video demonstration would be helpful to many.

Pool practice: The operator's manual cartoon shows the operator's hand on the Mirage drive whilst neck deep in the water next to his/her capsized/overturned Mirage Eclipse.
Putting our hands on the drive did not seem to help us. My wife is 5'2" and weighs 105 pounds and she was unable to reach over the side of the overturned SUP/pedalboard while kneeling on the center of the board. Ultimately she held on to her leash and was able to reliably shift her weight on her knees to the edge of the board and successfully right the board.
Posted to solicit feedback and or suggestions for improved technique.[youtube][/youtube] https://youtu.be/MsJJdsdwf14
